| Abstract: | There
are distinct biological and gender related differences between man and woman.
Because of their special reproductive role, women are at risk of some
distinctly gender related disorders. A survey of ethnomedicinal plants used in
the rural areas of Kerala gave valuable ethnomedico-botanical information
regarding plants used for menstrual disorders. The present study enumerates 19
plant species against Menorrhagia, 26 plant species against Dysmenorrhoea, 25
plant species against Oligomenorrhoea, 5 plant species against Hypomenorrhoea,
4 plant species for Amenorrhoea and 18 plant species which can be included in
food during menstrual cycle. |
